I agree on the priority, but it’s a huge leap that you and other posters are making. Nobody in this thread knows that our ability to give Campbell a raise hinges on keeping Prohm, so I don’t think it’s accurate to state that speculation like it’s fact. I really doubt the two are totally linked.

I’ve followed recruiting for a lot of years. This guy looks more like a shooting guard than point guard, to me at least. That’s totally cool, we really need shooting guards too. There isn’t a position where we can’t use more talent.
Next up on my wish list - a power forward.

I know for a fact the AD will be in the red this year. It's been discussed they will need to accumulate more debt this year. So if you're borrowing v. Future revenue why go down that road this of all years?
Wow, worst new recruit commitment thread ever. Welcome aboard, Jayden!
Seems like a textbook combo guard. His shooting form and size is nice. We probably can’t afford to take any more undersized types. From tape he looks like just an ok athlete.
If Prohm sticks around after this year it will be really critical to get Hinson to campus.
Welcome Jayden! Excited to see what you bring to this team. Tough defender and great shooter. Looking forward to watching you in the cardinal and gold.
Ok, glad we cleared up that the “Campbell raise or making a change” argument that many state as fact, is really speculation.
To your question - it is flawed to make this evaluation solely based on near term costs. When a program is struggling, There is always the consideration of short term cost versus long term payback. We will have to see how this season plays out, but if things continue to go really badly I am sure the AD will be weighing whether continuing to find new rock bottoms is acceptable financially and for fan morale. Whether the cost of a buyout is more than the lost revenue in future seasons from delaying the inevitable and evaluating if keeping the coach means more terrible basketball and more lost revenue and fan excitement compared to a successful program.
Can you at least keep it out of a players committment thread?
Huh? I replied directly to your post on this subject.
Could you please keep those kind of posts out of a player commitment thread? Thanks.
Levi is always talking over people. I want to hear Marchie and Netten's views more than his, but Levi's 80% of the air time. I feel bad for them.
The more I think about it, the lack of offers and starz may not matter. If he is a good to great defender and can hit 38%+ from three, he's the kind of player Iowa State needs, especially if paired with Hunter.
It might be tilted toward guards, but you don't see top 20 teams that aren't strong inside AND on the perimeter.
Even Fred's best teams had Niang and McKay. Foster has potential. But if next year's team is going to be NCAA Tournament worthy, we need a couple more quality 4/5 players.
I thought they were more like giggling school boys who wouldn't dare ask the Great Rece anything remotely challenging. I was surprised Davis even took the call.
I’ve never liked the term “combo guard”. Usually seems like an attempt to put a positive spin on guys who are not good enough.
Easy way to cure that, think Curtis Stinson
Glad to be reading some good news for Cyclone Basketball!

Stinson was an F-ing bulldog. He seemed to actively look for mismatches on smaller guards where he could back them down in the lane or muscle them down on a drive. He really only became a good outside shot towards the end of his isu tenor. That and will B was handled more of the of duties.
